About “BTS - IDOL (Romanized)”

The lead single, IDOL, featured in the last part of BTS’s ongoing project Love Yourself: 起承轉結, released on 24 August 2018.

By combining traditional Korean musical elements, including janggu with modern hip-hop groove, the group blends modern and traditional Korean music instruments into one rather than pure pop music, creating a refreshing and surprising beat.
